    good progress, next step?

    I think I am making progress, and thank you for the great search box! The 'Dim LSearchRow' and Dim LCoptToRow' rows I have changed from the 'As Integer' to 'As String' (my own guess, and I haven't been able to test it yet.

    My real question is in lines (14) and (15); the code that I copied from the web has me searching for a set variable. How do I get the program to search for my 'String'?
    [code]

    (1) Sub box1()

    (2) On Error GoTo Err_Execute

    (3) Sub findString()
    (4) Dim sFind As String

    (5) sFind = Application.InputBox("Enter the search string", "Search...")
    (6) If sFind > "" Then

    (7) Dim LSearchRow As String
    (8) Dim LCopyToRow As String

    (9) 'Start search in row 2
    (10) LSearchRow = 2

    (11) 'Start copying data to row 2 in Sheet2 (row counter variable)
    (12) LCopyToRow = 2

    (13) While Len(Range("A" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Value) > 0

    (14) 'If value in column B = "CAT", copy entire row to Sheet2
    (15) If Range("B" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Value = "CAT" Then


    (16) 'Select row in Sheet1 to copy
    (17) Rows(CStr(LSearchRow) & ":" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Select
    (18) Selection.Copy[code]

    Yours Sincerely,
    Bill Rudd
